What were the original door to quarter panel, door to fender, fender to hood gaps on a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner? I am lining up panels, and would like to make sure I am close to factory specs. Anyone have this information? Thanks!
 
Not factory spec but mine are no more than 1/4" I'm sure. Can measure if you like. Car has never been modified or rebuilt body wise
 
If you wouldn't mind measuring them, I would appreciate. I am sure I can align them half way decent, just was wondering if there was any specs out there to use as a guideline. One door looks pretty good against the quarter, while the other side looks tight. I just want to be half way close. I just did a GTO, and they list the gaps for all the panels. I just thought by chance so did Ma Mopar.
 
I thought they were like 3/16" gap(?)

I measured the gaps on my 72 SSP and they are approximately 3/16", if you want to know exactly the range was from .150" to .190" measuring with dial calipers.
 
I appreciate the response. 3/16 is close enough to go with that. How about the other gaps, like door to fender, and fenders to hood? Thanks Guys!
 
All gaps was the same. Again, now that I think of it, the gap should be 3/16"
